Well I’ll be buggered. IT WORKS! After the recent heavy rain following such a long dry spell, my dam (small acreage) developed quite a substantial leak.
The water was literally bubbling out of a hole in the ground at the base of the dam wall, and running down the road as a small stream. While the neighbours were quite happy with this arrangement, I was not so impressed.
I temporarily plugged the hole (about 100mm across) with a log, bashed in with a sledge hammer, and searched the ’net for a solution. I read the reports and claims made re Water$ave Plug, and with a fair degree of scepticism, placed an order for a 10kg pail.
It arrived as promised within two days of ordering, and I waited for a calm morning to spread it across the dam surface.
At this stage, the leak had slowed to a trickle, but still allowing an unacceptable degree of leakage. As well as the big leak, my dam has always had a slow seepage problem.
I released some of the plug effect by loosening the log in the hole, and allowed a slow but steady leak in the hope that it would ensure that the stuff would be sucked into the right hole.
After about three days, there was a marked decrease in the loss rate, and after two weeks, the dam wall is bone dry. I must admit, I was amazed. Thanks for the product, and for the prompt professional service.
If you ever develop a similar product that can be used with my leaking concrete tank used for drinking water, please let me know. That’s my next challenge.
